Flat Front Chinos from UNIQLO

steve-mcqueen-bike — Steve McQueen in chinos

Chinos* have been a men’s wardrobe staple for decades. They’re handsome, comfortable and versatile, going well with many shirts and shoes. You can wear them with certain boots, a shiny pair of oxfords, sneakers, sandals or flip-flops. They go with a crisp dress shirt or an old t-shirt. With a belt or not. As I said… a versatile wardrobe basic.

My favorite pair as of late is from UNIQLO. The “vintage chino flat front pants” come with a simple classic cut and in a variety of colors: black, dark tan, light tan, dark green and navy.

I will always love the slim-fit chinos from Banana Republic and The Gap, but UNIQLO’s can be had for a cool $39.90.

* A little clarity… Where I come from, people often call these trousers “khakis.” “Chino” is the proper name for a pair of these trousers. “Khaki,” on the other hand, is actually the name of a color.
